Canadian reference laboratory chooses CellaVision for digital image analysis

"This order, from one of the leading reference laboratories in Canada, is a strategically important step as we now expand our direct sales in North America", says Yvonne Mårtensson, CEO of CellaVision "The trust placed in us through this order is confirmation that we deliver first class products and support, and meet the Canadian customers' high demands of automation and cost reductions."

 

The reference laboratory chooses CellaVision products to reduce the total labor spent performing manual differentials and to bridge geographical distances between the two laboratories. The CellaVision® Remote Review Software will improve the turnaround time for consultation on difficult cases, and slides can be reviewed by the expert in real-time from either lab, with results now available in minutes instead of hours. The remote capability will also allow one lab to perform the other's work if necessary, providing staffing flexibility for both sites.

 

North America is one of CellaVision's most important markets. The company has had a subsidiary in Canada since 2007. In the US, CellaVision is represented by its distributor Sysmex America and a subsidiary in Florida. In 2007, North America counted for approximately 40 percent of CellaVision's total turnover.
